Ron Stewart on Matthew Golden

First-rounder limited to 41% routes; showed 2.89 YPRR but Watson return clouds outlook.

Matthew Golden, a first-round pick, has been playing sparingly at 41% route share since a recent injury, with Christian Watson's presence limiting his opportunities. However, Golden posted one of his better games as a pro with three catches, 55 yards, a 79.5 PFF grade, and 2.89 yards per route run despite the low volume. The source is uncertain about his fantasy outlook moving forward as Jayden Reed surges and Christian Watson gets healthier, but views him as a dynasty asset or year-two bet with per-route numbers that aren't the worst, though not comfortable as a weekly starter.
